"American Idol" 2011: Top 5 Results - Entertainment Blog - Rochester City Newspaper
www.rochestercitynewspaper.com via @Cal_Politics &bull May 6, 2011The episode started out with all kinds of judge pimping. I got the feeling they spent maybe 20 minutes rehearsing it.

The first half of the show was hot garbage, but it got way better at the halfway marker. And BTW: almost all of the contestants' parents were completely adorable. I want "Parent Idol" next year.

www.rochestercitynewspaper.com via @acappella_bot &bull Mar 3, 2011The Top 12 girls competed for five viewer-selected spots in the overall Top 12.
